discussion i'll which MI. GrigSby figured
Mr.. Bogart was sent down
to suggest to Gov. Church that it
would be good idea for him sto
consult with Mr.. Grigsby. but the governor
replied that he and Mr.. Grigsby understood
each other perfectly and further confab
was not necessary. Mr.. Bogart made this
report, and with faint smile Mr.. Grigsby
threw up both hands and the appointments
were confirmed. The governor has been
busy all day making up the boards of
trustees of the various public Institutions.
and to do this requires great deal of labor
in the way of consultation. Tonight he
has appointed five boards and will probably
send them into the council tomorrow for
confirmation. He has stuck to the position
he took at first. and on ali the boards he
has appointed
A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
The boards appointed are as follows:
Rapid City School of AlineS-A. j. SimonS,
J. r. Brennan, Gustavus Schnasse, r. b.
Hughes, c. " Gardner.
Spear Fish Normal school-John Walzmuth,
Albert Powers, j. +. Summers.
jamestown Insane asvlum-S. K. McGin-
mis-, Lewis Lyon, F. E. Jones, w. b. Warren,
Lazarus MinZesheimer.
Brookings Agricultural college-George
Moorhouse, G. NJ. Durley, +. P. Lally, J. d.
Lawler.
Graud Forks universty-P. C. Donovan,
James Twombly, c. E. Heidel.
These appointments will undoubtedly be
promptly confirmed, Notwithstanding the
feeling among some councilmen that the
Republicans should get slightly the best of
the deal. Gov. Church is on top in the
fight and they all know it, and since they
have tested his metal and found it to be A
l, they are not inclined to inaugurate
hopeless and grOundless fight. Fifty hand
some ladies, robed in sealSkin sacQues and
Ornamented with diamonds, occupied seats
in the lobby of the council chamber this
afternoon. 1t was the day when Fletcher's
local option bill was to come up for final
action. and the female portion OF the popu-
lation Of Bismarck is deeply interested in
the question of temperance at the present
time. Many members of the house left their
seats and climbed the stairs to the council
chamber as much to get chance to size up
the ladies as to listen to the discussion OF
the bill. 1t was few minutes past ) o'clock
when the bill was read. and, when Clerk
Kingsbury had finished, Smith, of Yankton,
CREATED A LITTLE SURPRISE
by announcing that the bill read was not
the one passed by the house. The friends
of the local option movement in the coun-
Gil and in the audience looked worried, ard
mentally LAID the trouble to the shrewdiiess
OF the lobbyists opposing the bill. For the
purpose Of informing themselves Oh the
matter recess of ten minutes was taken,
and search for the right bill made. 1t
was found in the hands of the engrossing
committee in the house and brought up and
the council was once more raped to order.
Mr.. WaslIabaugh moved that the bill be re-
committed to the house to be properly en-
rolled and engrossed, but Mr.. McCumber
thought everybody knew the nature of the
bill and there was no necessity of
delay. 1t might be acted upon then.
Mr. Dodge regretted to deprive
MI. McCumb er of the privilege of speak
ing before such an admiring audience. but
he thought it the best policy to send the
bill back to the house for enrolment and
engrossment Washabaugh's motion was
carried. This was serious disappointment
to the ladies, but when they were told that
the law of the same nature passed in Iowa
was declared null and void because it had
passed without being properly enrolled.
they smiled sweetly on Mr.. Washabaugh
and retired. In the council to-day Collins.
